Abstract
Systems and methods provide for assignment of wireless devices to a frequency band for a particular RAT. The method may include determining corresponding bandwidths for each frequency band, calculating a ratio of each bandwidth to a total bandwidth, and ranking each band based on bandwidth. The method may further include assigning wireless devices to the frequency bands based on the rankings of each band and the caps imposed on each band.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- deploying multiple bands from a secondary node for a first radio access technology (RAT);
- determining a corresponding bandwidth for each of multiple bands;
- determining a total bandwidth for the multiple bands deployed for the first RAT;
- calculating a corresponding ratio for each band of each corresponding bandwidth to the total bandwidth for the multiple bands;
- ranking the bands based on the corresponding ratio;
- receiving a connection request from a wireless device using a second RAT for connection to the first RAT;
- and
- assigning the wireless device to one of the multiple bands for the first RAT based on the ranking.

An access node comprising:
- at least one processor programmed for performing multiple operations, the operations including;
- determining a corresponding bandwidth for each of multiple bands deployed by a secondary access node for a first RAT;
- determining a total bandwidth for the first RAT;
- calculating a corresponding ratio for each band of each corresponding bandwidth to the total bandwidth for the first RAT;
- ranking the bands based on the corresponding ratio;
- receiving a connection request from a wireless device at the access node wherein the connection request is for connection using the first RAT;
- and
- assigning the wireless device to one of the multiple bands of the first RAT deployed by the secondary access node based on the ranking.

A method comprising:
- determining a corresponding bandwidth for each of multiple bands deployed by an access node for a first RAT;
- determining a total bandwidth for the multiple bands deployed for the first RAT;
- calculating a corresponding ratio for each band of each corresponding bandwidth to the total bandwidth for the multiple bands;
- ranking each band deployed for the first RAT based on the corresponding bandwidth and imposing a corresponding cap for wireless devices connecting to each band based on the corresponding ratio;
- and
- assigning wireless devices to a highest ranked band until the corresponding cap is reached.
